Renee, a surgeon from Philadelphia, says Cuba’s healthcare system is under severe strain from shortages, limited resources, and blackouts. “People are not being saved. People are being harmed.”
Imani Bashir, a Black American activist from D.C. while visiting Cuba: “I'm a Black American, and in the Black radical tradition, we have celebrated the Cuban people.”
Justine Medina, a Cuban-American activist, says the U.S. embargo has only made life harder in Cuba: food shortages, medicine scarcity and blackouts. “This war has lasted 66 years. It only makes people suffer.”
